With the opening to the NFL season now complete we can turn towards the roster update for Madden 10 that is expected to come out late this week. Of course it is very early and week one isn’t necessarily indicative of performance throughout the entirety of the regular season. That being said there are players who deserve to go up or down based on the results of the first game.

Pulling notes from Donny Moore on Twitter some of the changes to look forward to based on just the Monday Night Football games are listed below. These could give an idea of the type of magnitude of changes on a per game basis across the board.

JaMarcus Russell deep accuracy up, short accuracy down

Raiders pass rush up

Leodis McKelvin awareness, carry, and kick return down

Tully Banta-Cain up

Drew Brees may have earned an increase from his already stellar 97 overall rating. Can Adrian Peterson get any better than he is? He should probably be maxed out, though being prone to fumbling is what seems to hold him at a 97. LaDainian Tomlinson wasn’t even on the field on the critical game winning drive for the Chargers and it appears that Darren Sproles has taken a more significant role. LT at 94 and Sproles at 83 will have to receive some adjustment. It’s pretty safe to assume that Jake Delhomme will see his ratings take a hit. It simply can’t be justified that he has an overall of 80 compared to a Joe Flacco at 81 (307 yards 3TDs) and several other solid starters in that range. Delhomme should probably fall in the mid-60s. Kurt Warner may see a drop as well as he and the Cardinals have looked nothing like the team that made the playoff run.

Of course the biggest move for the update transaction wise will be Brian Urlacher to the IR after his wrist injury put him out for the season. The Eagles have signed Jeff Garcia and Chris McAlister is expected to join a new team today.

Leave your thoughts in the comments on what players out/under performed their ratings in week one! Who should be recognized as deserving ratings upgrades and who should see their ratings fall?

Raiders:

LT Mario Henderson: 0 sacks allowed against Merriman & Phillips, improved against the run.

SS Tyvon Branch: Starting SS, had 9 tackles, impresive coverage skills, hard hits against SD. He is like 56 in Madden. Tackled 300 pound TE Manumaleuna in the open field, has about 55 in tackle because was a former CB.

LG Robert Gallery: best Raiders OL in the last 2 years, Pro Bowl level player according to coaches. 79 in Madden.

TE Zach Miller: he is alredy 86 in Madden, but maybe he deserves more. 6 catches for 96 yards, excellent blocker too.

Raiders:

UP: Hendeson, Branch, C Johnson, Morris, Gallery, Zach Miller, McFadden & Bush, FB O'Neal and Louis Murphy (Schlens is the best WR in Oakland, but he is injured)

DOWN: Cornell Green, DHB, JaMarcus accuracy was terrible (but he is 69 in Madden, so it should remain there)

are you serious? Jake Delhomme in the mid-60s? Need I remind you he just had a bad game. I like how you don't mention Marc Bulger, who couldn't get the Rams into the end zone with his superior passing skills. I guess Marc Bulger should be a 47 overall. Jake Delhomme was an 80? Seriously? I don't play Madden and I already know they cannot rate players. Jake Delhomme should be atleast be 85. Thank you.

The Italion Stallion, you're a moron. Delhomme is one of the worst quarterbacks in the league, and it showed in his last game (and the one before that as well, in the playoffs). 85? You're smoking some good 'ish…

Troy Smith accuracy needs to go up to at least 71 and have a SAC – 74 MAC – 79 DAC- 69. He won the Heisman and could be a starter if he got the chance. Come on EA
